The first hack is up:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web

Thanks to Mark Wielaard for moving it to the main-level hg directory.
I still need to add documentation support (we were using OpenJDK's) and
check for all those nasty internal OpenJDK classes it uses...

But you can start hacking again now :-)

As to releases, I suggest a monthly release cycle for this, given the amount
of activity NetX and the plugin have.  Of course, the final choice on that is
up to our new IcedTea-Web release manager, Deepak ;-)
